Trump attends G7 opening session as leaders acknowledge global 'turning point'
President Donald Trump participated in the first G7 working session, seated around a large round table with other leaders, after taking part in a photo opportunity that served as the official welcome for the G7 leaders. The theme of the first session was "Global Economic Outlook."
Trump did not answer shouted questions from reporters at both events.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took the opportunity to deliver remarks that highlighted the G7's history of collaboration and described the current state of global affairs as a "turning point in history."
"We're meeting at one of those hinge moments, those turning points in history. The world is more divided and dangerous. Hostile states and terrorists expanded their capabilities in their reach, threatening global security and our local communities. Global commerce, energy systems, even intelligence, are all being rewired," Carney said.
"We will have open, frank discussions over the course of the next two days. We might not agree on absolutely every issue, but where we will cooperate, we will make an enormous difference, for citizens, and for the world and bring the next era of prosperity I hope to the benefit of those we serve," Carney continued.
